I posted it in P4TRE0N, but I'm visiting my grandma, so I can't write. Next chapter will come two days later...

"Prince Glenn, Princess Eres, please come with me. Her Majesty Soraya is waiting for you."
Hearing the words of the expressionless woman, Bloed frowned.
He then looked at Eres and smiled wryly.
"It looks like your actions helped the queen to make up her mind."
"… Sorry, brother."
"Don't worry, it's not your fault," Bloed said and shook his head. Then, he looked at the woman again.
But this time, his glowing blue eyes were completely ice-cold.
"I don't have any reason to meet her. Much less when she is not even able to come to see me personally."
The woman frowned. Immediately, her eyes flashed with an expression of coldness.
"It looks like you are misunderstanding something, Prince. I'm not asking for your opinion."
This time, the woman's words were accompanied by a powerful and fierce aura.
Bloed frowned immediately.
"… Demigod."
But he was not intimidated.
Because before the woman's aura could touch him, Regina behind him grunted, releasing an even more powerful aura that clashed against the woman's.
Surprised, the woman could only try her best to endure the clash, but Regina's pressure forced her to take several steps back!
"You…!" The woman's eyes narrowed. Her mana instantly surged out of her body, ready to start a battle.
But before she could move, her expression changed.
Because at that moment, a golden-haired fox girl appeared suddenly in front of Bloed.
And the aura of this fox girl was just as strong as Regina's. No, it was slightly stronger.
She was Eve! The former saintess of Moonlight Glow!
"What do you think you are doing?" Eve's deadpan voice was soft, but it was like thunder to the ears of the woman.
Facing her aura, plus Regina's aura, the woman's face turned pale, and her mana was pressed against her skin, unable to advance further.
"You… Who are you!? Do you plan to interfere in the affairs of Alterna!?"
Eve did not reply, her emotionless gaze fixed on the woman as though she did not care about her words.
And in fact, she did not care.
She already considered Bloed one of her own. And if the kingdom of Alterna did not like it, she did not mind fighting them.
Fortunately, someone else arrived at that moment, easing the atmosphere.
"Liliana, stop."
"Y-Your Majesty!"
The woman hurriedly kneeled on a knee, bowing her head towards the newcomer with a respectful expression.
Behind her, a beautiful black-haired woman came slowly, followed by another woman acting as her guard.
Surprisingly, this guard was even stronger than the woman kneeling on the ground.
Another demigod!
But Bloed was not in the mood to worry about that.
Because he knew who the black-haired woman was.
Soraya Dora, Queen of the Kingdom of Alterna.
And at the same time, Bloed's mother.
Bloed's emotions were complicated when he saw her.
But the queen's emotions were even more complicated. There was guilt, joy, sadness, excitement, anxiety, fear, and many other emotions.
She seemed incredibly joyful after seeing Bloed's again, but at the same time, she seemed afraid of facing the child that she abandoned.
"Glenn…" She whispered softly.
Bloed frowned and his expression turned ice-cold. He did not like that name.
"Your Majesty, what do you need?" He said in a completely emotionless tone.
Seeing that, the queen smiled wryly.
"It looks like you are not even willing to call me mother."
Bloed did not reply, but the coldness in his eyes was enough of an answer.
The queen could only smile bitterly.
With a sad expression, she forced herself to smile as she looked at Bloed.
"… I'm sorry about my subordinate's bluntness. It was not her intention… Son, do you think you can give your mother a bit of your time? I would like to talk to you."
"I'm sorry, I��m busy right now. Besides, I'm not your son. Regina, Eres, Eve, let's go."
The girls did not hesitate to follow Bloed. Not even Eres bothered to look at the queen.
However, the queen was not planning to give up easily.
"… Son, please… Just one time…"
Feeling the pleading tone in her voice, Bloed stopped.
He looked behind him, seeing Eres looking at him with a complicated gaze, Regina putting on a displeased look, and Eve with her usual deadpan expression.
However, he could see something in their gazes.
Support.
Bloed sighed and looked at the queen again, this time nodding.
"… I'll go to your place two days later."
The expression on the queen's face brightened immediately.
"Thank you, son! Yes, two days later. I'll wait for you!"
"Good." Bloed nodded indifferently and left with the girls.
He could feel the queen's gaze glued to his back, looking at him with soft and gentle eyes.
However, Bloed did not look at her again.
He did not want to see her face again if it was possible.
Actually, the only reason that he agreed to the meeting was to cut his remaining ties to her.
